Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for an earlier effective date for service connection for PTSD, stating that the criteria for an earlier effective date were not met.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the relevant official service department records were not considered by the prior rating decision and did not pertain to the basis of the prior final denial.
